Route

Following the course of the St. Lawrence River, the 37 km St. Lawrence Bikeway is the designated Waterfront Trail in this area. Renowned as one of the Province's best trails, it connects you to several communities, incredible vistas and one of Canada's first national parks, St. Lawrence Islands National Park. Mallorytown Landing is the park's base. Rocky shoreline, mature trees, an interpretation centre, museum and washrooms are on-site. It's a fabulous place to stop for lunch.
